In the US, I am currently using Zep brand mold and mildew stain remover in a spray bottle to do this job. It's bleach based, but I think there are other agents involved as well because it works very quickly. Spray on, allow to sit for about a minute, rinse off, no scrubbing needed. Less fumes than straight bleach too. Repeat if needed. Available at all the big box home stores for like $3.
Hi Bill, Once you have removed the mold and mildew, you need to go get a non-variegated ivy plant (or two) to hang in the bathroom. The spores from the non-variegated ivy plants prevents the growth of mold and mildew. But you have to get rid of what mold and mildew is in there originally, then it works to keep it from happening again. Hope this helps. Take care, stay safe.☺️✌️☮️🖖😷
That's an impressive result. What I use is toilet bleach. It tends to be a bit stronger and thicker so can be used straight out the bottle without having to do any other mixing.
1 Wear goggles when spraying any bleach solution as chlorine and chlorine vapour can burn your corneas permanently, 2 Close the bathroom door after such an applcation to prevent dangerous Chlorine fumes spreading throughout the house, 3 Thoroughly rinse down the shower walls before having a shower.
Ok now that I have done this...omg Wow!!!. Thanks so much bro. I was having a terrible time trying to keep the smaller tiles and grout inside the shower chamber clean. This is the way!!!.
@@marcnaidu5804 most steam cleaners come with a small nozzle for concentrated work. It obliterates mold and mildew easily. You can also add a cleaner in the water if required.
I don’t know why scrubbing is so objectionable - it works, it’s effective and that’s the point of cleaning. It takes the power of a cleanser to the next level.
@vivian9803 is it possible it agitates and like moves around the mold spores too much? i really don’t know; just a thought. wiping on the other hand may remove it but not spread it? idk.
Bill, that is absolutely brilliant! I can't wait to try that on my showers. I know I'll get in trouble for the smell, but the next day I'll be a hero! :)
Thanks Bill. So if everyone in the whole city pours half a bottle of concentrated bleach into the sewers then how does that affect our natural environment. Do you have a more eco conscious method that's just as easy? What about toothpaste, vinegar or something a bit less alkaline than 1:1 bleach?
Yes it will clean but over time you are compromising the integrity of the grout by leaving it on there that long and not rinsing or neutralizing the product. That is why the edges if the tile are showing, because you are eating away the grout by doing what you are doing
@@loveyhernandez5203 if you do use a harsher cleaner, neutralize it by rinsing with baking soda and water and use a pH neutral cleaner, after showers squeegee down the walls wipe up the floor with an old towel and leave shower door open.
Never heard of Glitz Domestic Cleaner. Maybe the Dollar Store has it. I'm going with Lysol clinging gel toilet bowl cleaner. Heard the Clorox brand is just as good. Careful though-- heard prolonged use of bleach on grout will destroy it.
Bill, I think you suold remove the chrome drain cover as the bleach can damage it, have had this happen to me and had to replace the whole drain including the cover.
Yes I do. I got a grout sealant which is in a spray can. Easy to apply and seals the grout against water ingress by repelling the water as it is sillicone based. P.s. I purchased the spray from my local tile retailer.
It isn't a stupid question, I was looking for the same question and thanks for asking on behalf. I will do it tonight. I am tired of scrubbing every 3 months and then it goes back in couple of days.
Bleach absolutely kills mold and many other nasties. Showers are humid, mold is a matter of course and it’s going to come back no matter how many times you clean it.
@LanaInAmerica The only sure way to get rid of mold is to remove it, to kill== white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide, or citric acid. Any thing that requires no scrubbing is a myth, if you leave one live spore it will return.
Unfortunately I didn’t on this occasion. I’ve uploaded videos on this in the past but I’ll make sure to upload new videos on it with more tips and tricks 👍
I have mold on the grout on a wall section that goes the under the shower screen. On the outside of the screen I can see the mold under the silicon and I'm worried it will eventually continue under the window sill which is right next to the shower. I'm looking at regrouping the shower but how am I able to remove the grout from behind the shower screen?
Bill, just for clarity could you confirm that you have used the Glitz Domestic Cleaner as shown, but mixed it with water 1:1 using the product empty bottle? Just want to confirm before heading of to Bunnings. Thanks
Hi, I used a concentrated bleach ( also can be purchased from bunnings) and filled it in this bottle. The glitz product also works, it’s just not as strong 👍
Bill i usually love your videos, and its probably jusy me, but i still have no idea what you used ir how you mixed. You pull out the bottle, but then said its an empty bottle and you put a concentrated mix of 1:1. So does that mean you used that particular product? Sorry, im confused and going by the comments, i'm clearly thick.
Lol, I watched the video and even I was confused for a second. In this video I used a different concentrated bleach product and filled it into this empty bottle. If your applying it to wall grout lines you want something that is thicker in consistency so it can hold its place on the walls. In general any bleach product will work. Hope this makes a bit more sense 👍
Top man, thanks for the reply. Since watching this one I found the one you did a couple of weeks ago with the bi-card & cleaning vinegar, which I watched when you released it and bought the drill attachments ready for the job I'm doing today (was searching for it to remind myself and then came across this one). Didn't have great results using the bicarb/cleaning vinegar method so will give this bleach marinate 😂 method a go. Cheers again for the reply Bill
Honestly, you will find most products on the market will have one common main active ingredient and that’s bleach. That’s why I said in the video that I purchased concentrated bleach and filled it in that bottle 👍
Can I show you, Bill...a neat trick when it comes to producing a video? Please. Do not depend on the microphone on the camera. Whether it is your iPhone or your camcorder. All it does is pick up on the echo. Instead, buy a "Lavalier" mic and you will enter the world of professional video production. No more echos!
So did you even bother with rinsing away the bleach/ glitz formula once it was dried when you returned the next day? Seems to me that you would want spend some time rinsing it down thoroughly so that the next person showering doesn’t get hit with massive bleach fumes and they don’t leave bleach white footprints on the floor mat. Any thoughts on that?
Scrub your tiles on a regular basis, and it won't ever get to this (shameful) condition. Black mould like that takes a long time to build up - that's just laziness.
"Don't be shy it is cheap" ???? Not rally cheap you have to pay for its use a high price: maybe it is heap but very bad for environment and our rinking water reserves and for health generally.

Zep is an amazing product. Toilet cleaner is superb.
Zep left on my chrome fixtures ruined the finish, be warned, I now have to replace sink fixtures on two sinks

My home will be done in a few months, I've been learning lots of tips and tricks. Will definitely get an ivy 😊
@@ccMomOfJays
Did you get an Ivy?
@@ccMomOfJays And if so, did the ivy prevent mold and mildew?
@@azteca6695 I did! I have an ivy and a snake plant indoors that I've managed to keep alive (usually plants come to my house to pass away 😆)
@mom of jays Did it work for preventing mold?
That's an impressive result.

Yeah- he totally skipped over that last and most important step!
I wear rubber gloves too and, most importantly, a face mask. Lungs are as delicate as eyes but often forgotten since you can't see them.
Ok now that I have done this...omg Wow!!!. Thanks so much bro. I was having a terrible time trying to keep the smaller tiles and grout inside the shower chamber clean. This is the way!!!.
I recommend using a steam cleaner with a small nozzle attachment. Works really well.
Steam cleaner to do what ok specific?
@@marcnaidu5804 most steam cleaners come with a small nozzle for concentrated work. It obliterates mold and mildew easily. You can also add a cleaner in the water if required.
it loosens the gunk
I’ve always used liquid bleach & scrubbing against family’s complaints. It’s harsh on the lungs- but it works.
Murray, if you let us know what hospital you will be in oh, I'm sure some of us will come and visit.
@@bubbleblonde9600 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love ya stuff. Straight to the point and well spoken. Need more Aussies on the how to's
👍👍
I couldn't understand a thing and I'm an Aussie 😂 Nice video though
Oh please!
Bleach without scrubbing is just bleaching the mold & will come back in the same spot. Bleach definitely works but must be scrubbed before rinsing.
well not 'scrubbed' but wiped. yes. you're right.
Using an old toothbrush with bleach works
I don’t know why scrubbing is so objectionable - it works, it’s effective and that’s the point of cleaning. It takes the power of a cleanser to the next level.
@vivian9803 is it possible it agitates and like moves around the mold spores too much? i really don’t know; just a thought. wiping on the other hand may remove it but not spread it? idk.
Nobody thinks it's a permanent fix.
Great timing. I am recaulking our shower today.
We do this on bond cleans using the thick bleach from the reject shop, great hack 😉
Didn't expect that much of an improvement. Will get some next time the wife is at Aldi!
Thanks Bill for your magic job
Bill, that is absolutely brilliant! I can't wait to try that on my showers. I know I'll get in trouble for the smell, but the next day I'll be a hero! :)

I used this combined with the Domestic Glitz combo in the previous vid, great tip mate 👍
You need to reseal your grout after doing that or it will get moldy again really fast.
How do you reseal it
@@skylamanning9133 buy sealer from Lowes or Home Depot and read the instructions. You will need a paint brush and a sponge.
Yes it will clean but over time you are compromising the integrity of the grout by leaving it on there that long and not rinsing or neutralizing the product. That is why the edges if the tile are showing, because you are eating away the grout by doing what you are doing
correct
Then what should pple use instead
@@loveyhernandez5203 if you do use a harsher cleaner, neutralize it by rinsing with baking soda and water and use a pH neutral cleaner, after showers squeegee down the walls wipe up the floor with an old towel and leave shower door open.
I would put it in a cleaned out toilet bowl cleaner that has a nib to drag along the lines,,
Hey Bill. I got my hands on the Glitz domestic cleaner (thicker) do i still need to mix it with water or can i just spray the product as it is? Thanks
Breathing in concentrated bleach, no thank you. You are very brave with your health, especially in a small space such as you are doing.
I use Tilex, spray, wait, wipe. Zero scrubbing. 😀
Not sold in Australia. I envy the variety you have of products in the US
😮 awesome work mate! 👌🏽
Never heard of Glitz Domestic Cleaner. Maybe the Dollar Store has it. I'm going with Lysol clinging gel toilet bowl cleaner. Heard the Clorox brand is just as good. Careful though-- heard prolonged use of bleach on grout will destroy it.

I always use beach, used it in the showers in the hotel where I worked too, ...
Hi mate love your vidoes Learning so much I'm just confused so 1 litre of water how much product do I put in my 1 litre of water? thanks
Next job plan for Saturday, thanks Bill. Keep them how to coming
You’re very welcome 👍
Which concentrated bleach do you buy from Bunnings?
Great tips Thanks for Sharing
For bad vertical lines, I use toilet paper soaked in cleaning solution. Shape it along the grout line.
Mine got yellow and I can’t get them shine white !! I’ve tried everything … any suggestions?
I am going to try it today
Thankyou for showing the good product 👏👏👏👍👍👍
I used to use bleach, then it cracked causing water leak in my shower room. I thought we can’t use bleach?
correct
I'll give it a try!!! THX!!
Brilliant idea, thanks for posting.
Glitz is an Australian product, not sold in the USA.
I use this in toilet too... Comes up nice and white :)
After cleaning, do you seal the grout? Can you give a when and how to please?
Yes I do. I got a grout sealant which is in a spray can. Easy to apply and seals the grout against water ingress by repelling the water as it is sillicone based.
P.s. I purchased the spray from my local tile retailer.
I know this is a stupid question, but when you come back the next day you have to rinse it right? or scrub it?
Just rinse with water to remove any residue 👍
@@billshowto Thank you for the fast reply
It isn't a stupid question, I was looking for the same question and thanks for asking on behalf. I will do it tonight. I am tired of scrubbing every 3 months and then it goes back in couple of days.
Nice in the city where you can just chuck stuff down the drain and its someone elses problem to deal with
Great tip. Thanks!
Is this because of not wiping the shower down after each use? I always squeegee and wipe the walls down after a shower.
Try Selleys rapid mould killer, in a minute or two mould disappears
Any chance you'd do my jax?
The mold will come back, you need to kill the mold, all you did was "bleach the mold" bleach does not kill mold
You are right! And bleach is harmful for the lung! I use nontoxic cleaners not ruining tiles.
Bleach absolutely kills mold and many other nasties. Showers are humid, mold is a matter of course and it’s going to come back no matter how many times you clean it.
@@eekns Not correct BLEACH DOES NOT KILL MOLD

I can’t find concentrated bleach. I am in Melbourne, Australia. Do you have any idea what else I can use?
Nice job Bill👍🏼
👍
That’s very good result bill where do you get this product from?👍👍
Bunnings, I purchased the concentrated bleach and filled it in that bottle. 👍
Thanks Bill. Did you record how to remove/replace the silicone too? For the next video? Hope so 🙂
Unfortunately I didn’t on this occasion. I’ve uploaded videos on this in the past but I’ll make sure to upload new videos on it with more tips and tricks 👍

glitz domestic cleaner not on Amazon maybe this is a UK product
Hey Bill,
Useful video thanks. Why did you prime and then plaster ? I’m used to plastering directly to the ceiling board. 🤔
you da man Bill!!
Love this
can i get a link to product please

About $5.

Just be aware that amount of bleach will fuck up a septic system

You can literally burn your lungs breathing bleach so you have to be super careful open windows it's happened to me I clean houses for a business.
Far too corrosive for grout. Do this if you want to regrout your tiles in the future
No way. That's a different bathroom
